Yep!! He says he is "done" after this last season of Empire ..He has no plans on returning to the screen. In an interview with Chelsie Kryst he said “I’m done with acting. I’m done pretending,” Howard told Kryst after being asked about his plans following the end of Empire. Kryst then questioned if Howard will embark on a new career in philanthropy, to which Howard responded “No, not philanthropy; I’m just focusing on bringing truth to the world.”
I'm not really sure what truth means but I'll keep y'all posted
